Unclear It is not clear what the new "asked" flag does, or whether it changes when you are asked to approve a server.

What

An MCP server is an add-on program that gives Claude Code extra tools and commands. When you reconnect an MCP server or switch it on, Claude Code now keeps track of whether that server's settings came from your own settings and marks it with a new "asked" flag. Previously it fell back to the stored settings without any such mark.

A connected server can also be swapped out for a new connection, and when that happens its tools and commands are cleared.

Why

This may affect how Claude Code asks for your approval of MCP servers. After a reconnect, the server's tools and commands are refreshed rather than kept from the old connection.
